Purpose of jpeg2ps
==================
-jpeg2ps converts JPEG files to PostScript Level 2 or 3 EPS. In fact, jpeg2ps
-is not really a converter but a "wrapper": it reads the image parameters
-(width, height, number of color components) in a JPEG file, writes the
-corresponding EPS header and then copies the compressed JPEG data to the output
-file. Decompression is done by the PostScript interpreter (only PostScript
-Level 2 and 3 interpreters support JPEG compression and decompression).
-If you have a slow communication channel and a fast printer, sending
-compressed image data is a big win.
